Eita,
This photo was recently published in Oxpeckers (here: http://oxpeckers.org/2016/12/mine-closures-whats-happening-in-your-back-yard/) to help tell the story of the failure to rehabilitate gold mines across Gauteng province. Thanks to a non-profit called the Bateleurs (named for a type of eagle), I was able to fly over the Central Rand to see Central Rand Gold's operations, the West Rand to see Mintails' operations (pictured) and the Far West Rand to see the abandoned Blyvooruitzicht Gold Mine. In addition to illustrating the true scope of some of these issues, these aerial photos allowed me to effectively see past walls and security guards to determine what activities are really taking place inside the country's mines.
Sharp sharp,
Mark
